Looking at these comments: so now liberals love nuclear weapons?
Americans are ruled by a politics of opposition. Anything Trump does, the opposite must be good. Anything Biden does, the opposite must be good. Nobody thinks about anything from scratch.
if that was the case, trump would be antizionist
The man’s playing 4D chess with nukes again. Proposing to halve defense budgets while the world’s still a tinderbox—classic Trumpian audacity. Because inviting autocrats to a firesale on their only leverage is peak stability strategy.
Russia’s already ditched New START, China’s sprinting toward nuclear parity, and here we are, recycling the same failed playbook. Arms control via vibes and handshakes—because trusting Putin and Xi to pinky-swear their way to disarmament worked so well last time.
The math doesn’t lie: Cold War stockpiles could glass the planet a hundred times over. Modernizing them isn’t strategy—it’s a pissing contest funded by taxpayer dollars. But slashing budgets unilaterally? That’s not diplomacy; it’s naivety with a side of geopolitical Russian roulette.
Maybe focus on not setting the Middle East and Ukraine ablaze first. Priorities, folks.
